Simon stayed for three hours at the 3D miracle company near Stanford University, watched in person a small 3D metal printer developed by the company, made an aluminum teacup, and then called a meeting to discuss the company's next development direction.
The goal is very clear.
Develop large 3D printers that can print rocket parts.
There are two difficulties. One is to ensure the precision of 3D printer while large-scale. Many rocket parts may weigh several tons, but the machining accuracy is micron level, which is a great challenge.
Fortunately, it is not without direction.
At this stage, many industrial robots produced by high-tech companies can achieve micron level of operation accuracy. The team can try to learn from them or directly entrust research and development of auxiliary robots.
On the other hand, 3D printer is needed to print all kinds of aviation materials.
The principle of 3D printing is to solidify the material powder by laser sintering.
The melting point and hardness of cutting-edge aviation alloy are not comparable to ordinary daily aluminum alloy and other materials. The existing 3D miracle equipment can only complete the printing of low melting point aluminum alloy and other materials, so it needs to be further upgraded.
At the end of more than two hours' meeting, Simon agreed to a complete set of budget plan required by Bryan Daige, founder of 3D miracle, on the condition that the team must develop a set of large-scale 3D printers that can be used to build rocket parts within one year. In addition to funding, in the next year, vistro system will also be responsible for recruiting experts in relevant fields from all over the world, including necessary information In this case, other enterprises or patents in the field of 3D printing will be acquired.
Although he will not be stingy with the necessary investment, Simon will not do anything wrong.
Different from the hot Internet, because the application field has been narrow, there are many 3D printing teams around the world, but few of them have a good life.
In addition, the use of anonymous agent team to launch the acquisition, want to get these technologies, pay not too much.
Just like 3D miracle, Simon only spent $13 million on the acquisition of this company. The main reason is that although 3D miracle has come up with products, it can't be used in business at all. Who will spend $100 on an aluminum alloy cup that can be bought for $5 in a mall?
3D miracle, a small company founded five years ago, has been able to finance its development funds because of the rise of new technology in Silicon Valley. In fact, it has burned several venture capital companies with $6 million in five years.
The agency team of westrow system won 100% of the shares of the company with us $13 million. The return rate of several VCs with about 70% of the shares was only 50% when they exited. For five years, the average annual return was 10%, which was only better than the return rate of investing in some high-yield bonds.
Maybe some news will flow out in the future, leading to the rise of related technologies, but the whole 3D printing field is still a "buyer's market".
Whether it's SpaceX and other three companies or 3D miracle and other affiliated companies, Simon's operation idea is the same, which is to reduce the cost as much as possible with the degree of squeezing. Therefore, Simon is the only one to squeeze others, and other people can't get benefits from Simon unless they show their due achievements.
In addition to the positive case of SpaceX in memory, Simon made this decision mainly because of the blue origin of another company in the original space-time, Jeff Bezos.
Many people don't know that the origin of blue, which is also committed to space exploration, was founded two years earlier than SpaceX.
And it's absolutely rich.
Whatever you want.
However, when SpaceX has become a new leader in the aerospace field, and even replaced Boeing Loma, which has lost the ability to land on the moon, to carry out the new century moon landing plan of the United States, Bezos' Blue origin has not even realized the ability of the rocket to enter the orbit.
There may be various reasons, but Simon firmly believes that the fate of the two companies is just like the most common saying in memory.
He who lives in adversity dies in happiness.
Therefore, even if you pay more attention to them, Simon's first rule is that he will not give any of the SpaceX companies a "comfortable" working environment. If you feel that you can't do it, go away. If you want to get a high salary beyond your own value, go away. If you can't complete the planned tasks without proper reasons, go away.
Even if some teams can't meet Simon's expectations, he doesn't mind dismissing the whole team and starting over.
In the next few years, Simon will give many people a sense of how tyrants are made.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Simon finished his work in San Francisco. This time, he didn't stay in the bay area for the night. He took a private plane back to Los Angeles and had a reception in the evening.
About the Trojan project.
Recently, after all aspects of recommendation and investigation, Simon selected the first group of young high-level children from within the westero system. The number is small, only 10 at a time.Before formally paving the way for these people, Simon today arranged a reception in the name of the westrow system management gathering, probably like Zeng Zhiwei's farewell to a group of "a sir" in Infernal Affairs. He always wanted young people to see their real owners behind the scenes.
In order not to attract too many people's attention, the scale of the reception is not small, so some young people are not conspicuous.
After that, these people will be arranged to work in important institutions such as the White House or Washington in the next year.
In fact, the whole process is not very formal. The westero system is looking for alternatives. It happens that the target is interested in politics, and the two sides have no agreement to be loyal to the westero system. Smart people will naturally understand that, after all, it is just the beginning. The westero system will decide whether to add support or not according to the subsequent performance of these people A lot of people who don't meet the standard will be eliminated.
Simon won't leave documents like the stumbling block project that will allow Bourne to find clear evidence.
Just like the original plan.
As long as some of them believe that they are "westerosian", they will naturally consider the interests of the westerlow system.
The evening reception starts at 7:30 in Simon's early palisade mid levels mansion.
Simon and his family arrived after dinner. He only stayed at the reception for less than an hour. He said hello to every candidate for the Trojan project, gently encouraged them, and left at nine o'clock.
Arrive at Praia Vista at 8 a.m. and leave the reception at 9 p.m. for 13 hours.
The day's work is finally over.
As soon as she got on the bus back to domay point manor, the accompanying girl a talked to Simon about a matter. A red haired French girl who was far away in China accompanying Chen Qing and her two daughters to spend the new year called to test whether she could get a position in fusion times.
Simon has some doubts. Girl a has explained.
Emmanuel Brant is a Ph.D. in particle physics at Zurich Polytechnic University. He is a professional counterpart, and he has a lot of contacts in this field.
Simon thought of Emmanuel's profile he had seen.
If you think about it a little bit, it's true.
However, the girl is now the chairman of scupper. Recently, she assisted Chen Qing in setting up an excellent technology company in China, and became one of the shareholders by participating in the shares. This time, I saw Simon's attention to the three companies, and thought it was a good opportunity, and the other party obviously did not intend to work as an ordinary employee in fusion times.
The planned headquarters of fusion times will be set up in San Francisco, mainly to rely on the talent resources of Stanford University. Scober's headquarters will also be in San Francisco, and Emmanuel can also take care of it.
It's just that.
Simon thought for a moment, but still hesitated, mainly because Emmanuel was a woman.
Even though many of the important executives in the westrow system are women, the three companies are different in the end and need to invest more energy than ordinary work.
So Simon needs animals.
Men can be animals.
Women are most used as men.
So all the interviewers in SpaceX these two days are men, not a single woman.
Simon couldn't make up his mind for a moment. He just said to girl a: "let's talk face to face when Emma comes back. By the way, how is the development of VCD industry in China in the last two months? Tell me about it. "
Girl a nodded and skillfully talked about the current development of China's VCD industry.
In the past year of 1995, China's VCD industry, which showed explosive growth, had a total shipment of 1.53 million units and a sales volume of 6.1 billion yuan, rapidly becoming a very important new technology product in the Chinese market.
At the same time, scopper has completed the research and development of the second generation video decoder chip by the end of last year according to the plan. The absolute leading technology and scopper's relatively open cooperation attitude have basically blocked the feasibility of other electronic manufacturers to develop video decoder chips and monopolized the market.
At the beginning of the new year in 1996, China's domestic advanced VCD manufacturers officially launched VCD products with built-in second-generation decoding chips, and also made another Wang bang, which directly reduced the price from the high level of 4000 yuan in the previous two years to 2999 yuan, quickly devouring the video recorder market, which was originally generally priced at more than 3000 yuan.
Under the operation of all parties, in the first two months of the new year, the total VCD shipment volume of China's major manufacturers has reached 1.78 million units, directly exceeding that of last year. It is estimated that the overall shipment volume of China's VCD Market in 1996 is expected to reach 10 million units, and the annual sales volume is expected to be about 30 billion yuan.
Affected by this series of good news, scober's share price has recently reached US $2.3 billion, and its market value is more than 10 times that of last year when it was just acquired by westrow system. Although the attention of the capital industry at this stage has been attracted by several Super Big Macs with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, such a return rate of investment in scupper is still crazy in the eyes of many Wall Street investors.Suzhou, China.
When girl a reported to Simon about the current situation of China's VCD industry, Emmanuel Brandt and Lin Su came from Shanghai and Hangzhou respectively. They were invited to visit Chen Qing's house for a short time. They were leaving for Beijing in the afternoon.
On the Chinese side, it's noon on March 5th.
The sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
Yesterday's Lantern Festival was just over.
Chen's family originally lived in a small town near Suzhou city. After making money, Chen Qing bought an antique house for her family in Gusu District, northern Suzhou. In fact, at first, she hoped her family could move to Shanghai, but Chen's father and mother, who were used to living in a small town, did not get used to it. Finally, she chose Suzhou, which is closer to her hometown, even the antique house Chen Qing's parents chose because they were not used to living in high-rise apartment buildings.
Starting from Shanghai, Emmanuel, who is closer to Shanghai, arrived first, accompanied by four waitresses of Chen Qinglin and su. These people have come to China since two years ago, and they have been staying until now. In the afternoon, they have to go to Beijing together.
Including Chen Qing, there are six members in the Chen family, including Chen's father, Chen's mother, Chen Qing's brother and sister-in-law, and a little nephew over four years old.
Even after Chen Qing had brought her maid to her home, five foreign girls came to the door once, but she still let others in the Chen family feel helpless. Even her neighbors came to watch. Seeing this, Chen Qing simply sent off four maid guards, leaving Emmanuel alone as a guest. For this reason, her mother complained quietly, feeling that even if she was a guest My daughter's subordinates should not rush people like this.
Chen Qing pretends not to hear her mother's nagging. Because Lin Su has not arrived yet and lunch can't start, she takes Emmanuel to her room in the West Wing of the house.
This is a suite.
After entering the room, Emmanuel also relaxed a lot, sitting on the sofa without seeing any place, with a lingering fear on his face, said: "I really don't understand why people here look at me like they are in the zoo?"
Chen Qing didn't mean to bring Emmanuel tea or water. She also sat on the sofa beside her, picked up a folder that Emmanuel and his party were browsing before they arrived, and said casually, "you are much more precious than the lions and tigers in the zoo."
"Oh, it's definitely not a compliment," Emmanuel said to Chen Qing. She noticed something in her eyes. Her slender body tilted over, caught Chen Qing's right hand, looked at it, pointed to an obvious red and swollen mark on the back of her hand and asked, "what's the matter
Chen Qing shook off Emmanuel, touched her little hand and said, "my father played."
Emmanuel immediately widened his eyes and glanced at the scar on the back of Chen Qing's hand in disbelief: "just now, Mr. Chen is a very nice person. How can It's too violent. "
Chen Qing even glanced at her: "the culture is not the same. It's natural for parents to beat their children here, at least in our family."
"Are you a girl?"
Chen Qing said with a smile: "my father beat my brother more ruthlessly, will hang up."
He also pointed to the top of his finger.
Obviously, Emmanuel could not imagine what it would be like to hang a man up and fight, but he soon thought of the key to the matter and asked, "why did your father beat you?"
Chen Qing did not explain this time, perfunctory way: "family."
This obviously did not dispel Emmanuel's curiosity: "what family matters?"
Chen Qing can't say that because she advised her brother to divorce her sister-in-law, who she didn't like very much, she was severely whipped by her father. The scar on the back of her hand was hit when she raised her hand to cover her. She just turned her mouth. Seeing Emmanuel's curious baby appearance, she thought about it and said, "because I'm so old, I haven't found a boyfriend yet, so I got hurt Yes, you know, in China, parents attach great importance to their children's marriage. "
Emmanuel blinked his eyes and said quickly, "Chen, you lied to me. I know something about this. Besides, you are still very young, aren't you?"
Chen Qing shrugged: "well, actually, I told my parents that I found a woman."
Simon westrow?
Women?
Before Emmanuel could ask, the door was knocked, and a childish voice came out: "aunt, aunt, here comes the guest."
Hearing this, Chen Qing got up from the sofa and said, "it should be Lin. let's go out and wait for lunch. My mother prepared all day yesterday. I'll remember to praise her more."
As they speak, they walk out of Chen Qing's room. Lin Su, who comes from Hangzhou, is surrounded by Chen's father, Chen's mother, Chen's brother, and Chen's sister-in-law. When they see Chen Qing appear, Lin Su quickly nods to her, looking like she wants to get away.
I don't know why.
The eyes of the Chen family looking at her are really strange.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

For five years, the average annual return was 10%, which was only better than the return rate of investing in some high-yield bonds. Maybe some news will flow out in the future, leading to the rise of related technologies, but the whole 3D printing field is still a "buyer's market". Whether it's SpaceX and other three companies or 3D miracle and other affiliated companies, Simon's operation idea is the same, which is to reduce the cost as much as possible with the degree of squeezing. Therefore, Simon is the only one to squeeze others, and other people can't get benefits from Simon unless they show their due achievements. In addition to the positive case of SpaceX in memory, Simon made this decision mainly because of the blue origin of another company in the original space-time, Jeff Bezos. Many people don't know that the origin of blue, which is also committed to space exploration, was founded two years earlier than SpaceX. And it's absolutely rich. Whatever you want. However, when SpaceX has become a new leader in the aerospace field, and even replaced Boeing Loma, which has lost the ability to land on the moon, to carry out the new century moon landing plan of the United States, Bezos' Blue origin has not even realized the ability of the rocket to enter the orbit. There may be various reasons, but Simon firmly believes that the fate of the two companies is just like the most common saying in memory. He who lives in adversity dies in happiness. Therefore, even if you pay more attention to them, Simon's first rule is that he will not give any of the SpaceX companies a "comfortable" working environment. If you feel that you can't do it, go away. If you want to get a high salary beyond your own value, go away. If you can't complete the planned tasks without proper reasons, go away. Even if some teams can't meet Simon's expectations, he doesn't mind dismissing the whole team and starting over. In the next few years, Simon will give many people a sense of how tyrants are made. At five o'clock in the afternoon, Simon finished his work in San Francisco. This time, he didn't stay in the bay area for the night. He took a private plane back to Los Angeles and had a reception in the evening. About the Trojan project. Recently, after all aspects of recommendation and investigation, Simon selected the first group of young high-level children from within the westero system. The number is small, only 10 at a time.Before formally paving the way for these people, Simon today arranged a reception in the name of the westrow system management gathering, probably like Zeng Zhiwei's farewell to a group of "a sir" in Infernal Affairs. He always wanted young people to see their real owners behind the scenes. In order not to attract too many people's attention, the scale of the reception is not small, so some young people are not conspicuous. After that, these people will be arranged to work in important institutions such as the White House or Washington in the next year. In fact, the whole process is not very formal. The westero system is looking for alternatives. It happens that the target is interested in politics, and the two sides have no agreement to be loyal to the westero system. Smart people will naturally understand that, after all, it is just the beginning. The westero system will decide whether to add support or not according to the subsequent performance of these people A lot of people who don't meet the standard will be eliminated. Simon won't leave documents like the stumbling block project that will allow Bourne to find clear evidence. Just like the original plan. As long as some of them believe that they are "westerosian", they will naturally consider the interests of the westerlow system. The evening reception starts at 7:30 in Simon's early palisade mid levels mansion. Simon and his family arrived after dinner. He only stayed at the reception for less than an hour. He said hello to every candidate for the Trojan project, gently encouraged them, and left at nine o'clock. Arrive at Praia Vista at 8 a.m. and leave the reception at 9 p.m. for 13 hours. The day's work is finally over. As soon as she got on the bus back to domay point manor, the accompanying girl a talked to Simon about a matter. A red haired French girl who was far away in China accompanying Chen Qing and her two daughters to spend the new year called to test whether she could get a position in fusion times. Simon has some doubts. Girl a has explained. Emmanuel Brant is a Ph.D. in particle physics at Zurich Polytechnic University. He is a professional counterpart, and he has a lot of contacts in this field. Simon thought of Emmanuel's profile he had seen. If you think about it a little bit, it's true. However, the girl is now the chairman of scupper. Recently, she assisted Chen Qing in setting up an excellent technology company in China, and became one of the shareholders by participating in the shares. This time, I saw Simon's attention to the three companies, and thought it was a good opportunity, and the other party obviously did not intend to work as an ordinary employee in fusion times. The planned headquarters of fusion times will be set up in San Francisco, mainly to rely on the talent resources of Stanford University. Scober's headquarters will also be in San Francisco, and Emmanuel can also take care of it. It's just that. Simon thought for a moment, but still hesitated, mainly because Emmanuel was a woman. Even though many of the important executives in the westrow system are women, the three companies are different in the end and need to invest more energy than ordinary work. So Simon needs animals. Men can be animals. Women are most used as men. So all the interviewers in SpaceX these two days are men, not a single woman. Simon couldn't make up his mind for a moment. He just said to girl a: "let's talk face to face when Emma comes back. By the way, how is the development of VCD industry in China in the last two months? Tell me about it. " Girl a nodded and skillfully talked about the current development of China's VCD industry. In the past year of 1995, China's VCD industry, which showed explosive growth, had a total shipment of 1.53 million units and a sales volume of 6.1 billion yuan, rapidly becoming a very important new technology product in the Chinese market. At the same time, scopper has completed the research and development of the second generation video decoder chip by the end of last year according to the plan. The absolute leading technology and scopper's relatively open cooperation attitude have basically blocked the feasibility of other electronic manufacturers to develop video decoder chips and monopolized the market. At the beginning of the new year in 1996, China's domestic advanced VCD manufacturers officially launched VCD products with built-in second-generation decoding chips, and also made another Wang bang, which directly reduced the price from the high level of 4000 yuan in the previous two years to 2999 yuan, quickly devouring the video recorder market, which was originally generally priced at more than 3000 yuan. Under the operation of all parties, in the first two months of the new year, the total VCD shipment volume of China's major manufacturers has reached 1.78 million units, directly exceeding that of last year. It is estimated that the overall shipment volume of China's VCD Market in 1996 is expected to reach 10 million units, and the annual sales volume is expected to be about 30 billion yuan. Affected by this series of good news, scober's share price has recently reached US $2.3 billion, and its market value is more than 10 times that of last year when it was just acquired by westrow system. Although the attention of the capital industry at this stage has been attracted by several Super Big Macs with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, such a return rate of investment in scupper is still crazy in the eyes of many Wall Street investors.Suzhou, China. When girl a reported to Simon about the current situation of China's VCD industry, Emmanuel Brandt and Lin Su came from Shanghai and Hangzhou respectively. They were invited to visit Chen Qing's house for a short time. They were leaving for Beijing in the afternoon. On the Chinese side, it's noon on March 5th. The sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Yesterday's Lantern Festival was just over. Chen's family originally lived in a small town near Suzhou city. After making money, Chen Qing bought an antique house for her family in Gusu District, northern Suzhou. In fact, at first, she hoped her family could move to Shanghai, but Chen's father and mother, who were used to living in a small town, did not get used to it. Finally, she chose Suzhou, which is closer to her hometown, even the antique house Chen Qing's parents chose because they were not used to living in high-rise apartment buildings. Starting from Shanghai, Emmanuel, who is closer to Shanghai, arrived first, accompanied by four waitresses of Chen Qinglin and su. These people have come to China since two years ago, and they have been staying until now. In the afternoon, they have to go to Beijing together. Including Chen Qing, there are six members in the Chen family, including Chen's father, Chen's mother, Chen Qing's brother and sister-in-law, and a little nephew over four years old. Even after Chen Qing had brought her maid to her home, five foreign girls came to the door once, but she still let others in the Chen family feel helpless. Even her neighbors came to watch. Seeing this, Chen Qing simply sent off four maid guards, leaving Emmanuel alone as a guest. For this reason, her mother complained quietly, feeling that even if she was a guest My daughter's subordinates should not rush people like this. Chen Qing pretends not to hear her mother's nagging. Because Lin Su has not arrived yet and lunch can't start, she takes Emmanuel to her room in the West Wing of the house. This is a suite. After entering the room, Emmanuel also relaxed a lot, sitting on the sofa without seeing any place, with a lingering fear on his face, said: "I really don't understand why people here look at me like they are in the zoo?" Chen Qing didn't mean to bring Emmanuel tea or water. She also sat on the sofa beside her, picked up a folder that Emmanuel and his party were browsing before they arrived, and said casually, "you are much more precious than the lions and tigers in the zoo." "Oh, it's definitely not a compliment," Emmanuel said to Chen Qing. She noticed something in her eyes. Her slender body tilted over, caught Chen Qing's right hand, looked at it, pointed to an obvious red and swollen mark on the back of her hand and asked, "what's the matter Chen Qing shook off Emmanuel, touched her little hand and said, "my father played." Emmanuel immediately widened his eyes and glanced at the scar on the back of Chen Qing's hand in disbelief: "just now, Mr. Chen is a very nice person. How can It's too violent. " Chen Qing even glanced at her: "the culture is not the same. It's natural for parents to beat their children here, at least in our family." "Are you a girl?" Chen Qing said with a smile: "my father beat my brother more ruthlessly, will hang up." He also pointed to the top of his finger. Obviously, Emmanuel could not imagine what it would be like to hang a man up and fight, but he soon thought of the key to the matter and asked, "why did your father beat you?" Chen Qing did not explain this time, perfunctory way: "family." This obviously did not dispel Emmanuel's curiosity: "what family matters?" Chen Qing can't say that because she advised her brother to divorce her sister-in-law, who she didn't like very much, she was severely whipped by her father. The scar on the back of her hand was hit when she raised her hand to cover her. She just turned her mouth. Seeing Emmanuel's curious baby appearance, she thought about it and said, "because I'm so old, I haven't found a boyfriend yet, so I got hurt Yes, you know, in China, parents attach great importance to their children's marriage. " Emmanuel blinked his eyes and said quickly, "Chen, you lied to me. I know something about this. Besides, you are still very young, aren't you?" Chen Qing shrugged: "well, actually, I told my parents that I found a woman." Simon westrow? Women? Before Emmanuel could ask, the door was knocked, and a childish voice came out: "aunt, aunt, here comes the guest." Hearing this, Chen Qing got up from the sofa and said, "it should be Lin. let's go out and wait for lunch. My mother prepared all day yesterday. I'll remember to praise her more." As they speak, they walk out of Chen Qing's room. Lin Su, who comes from Hangzhou, is surrounded by Chen's father, Chen's mother, Chen's brother, and Chen's sister-in-law. When they see Chen Qing appear, Lin Su quickly nods to her, looking like she wants to get away. I don't know why. The eyes of the Chen family looking at her are really strange.
